²³

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

²⁴

Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

²⁵

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

²⁶

Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

²⁷

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

²⁸

Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
